jennickelsThis is a review I just got on ff.net for Seven Sins:
Being a shipper myself I don't really think of these things. Do you take out any shippiness in an otherwise teamy fic to please the non-shippers or add ship in to please the shippers? I write what I would want to read. I like to read ship. I love team adventure fics, too, but love when they have the shippiness in the background. So, of course, that's what I write. To be accused of putting ship in to please shippers cracks me up. I put it in to please myself.
One freaking scene and it ruined the story for this guy (the name on the review was "John"). Oh well. Back to what I was doing... which I can't remember right now. I think I was going to go get myself some dinner, lol.
This was pretty good except for the ending. You ruined the whole thing by
having him go after Carter. He should have gone after the first pretty nurse
he saw but no, you had to play to the J/S fans. I'm disappointed in you.
"Play to the J/S fans"? Um, I am a Sam/Jack shipper. Although I suppose it went from a completely teamy fic to slight S/J at the end but I didn't think I played it up that much. I really wasn't even thinking Sam/Jack really when I wrote it but I guess the line the nurse says sold it as that. Sigh. There's always one to complain about something. And they always reply anon or without a ff.net account so I can't reply back.having him go after Carter. He should have gone after the first pretty nurse

Date: 18 Aug 2011 05:19 am (UTC)I've never actually seen virgin!Jack fic but I've heard of it's existence. I'm pretty sure the only way this thing could have been written is if the author were an 11yo girl that had never watched more than a few episodes. Or they were just an idiot. Or perhaps one of those kids that never got sex-ed in school.
As for virgin!Sam... Just because she's a geek doesn't mean she'd be a virgin in her late 20s/early 30s. For crying out loud. Even I was getting some in college and I was the biggest dork on the planet.

And we really are all over the place with topics on this post.
